26.2 is what percent of 24.34 - step by step solution

To get the solution, we are looking for, we need to point out what we know.

1. We assume, that the number 24.34 is 100% - because it's the output value of the task.
2. We assume, that x is the value we are looking for.
3. If 100% equals 24.34, so we can write it down as 100%=24.34.
4. We know, that x% equals 26.2 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=26.2.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=24.34
2) x%=26.2
where left sides of both of them have the same units, and both right sides have the same units, so we can do something like that:
100%/x%=24.34/26.2
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 26.2 is what percent of 24.34

100%/x%=24.34/26.2
(100/x)*x=(24.34/26.2)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=0.92900763358779*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (0.92900763358779) to get x
100/0.92900763358779=x
107.6417419885=x
x=107.6417419885

now we have:
26.2 is 107.6417419885% of 24.34
